A woman has just given birth.
Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.
This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.
That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.
So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.
It should be there.
As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.
Ask questions. Know what is available.
Prepare before the emergency comes.
RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Bring out 10 nail techs in Nigeria and at least 7 of them probably have degrees. High rate of unemployment in the country has forced many graduates to turn their skills and handiwork into a means of survival.
When you water down their efforts and act like honest hustles are beneath you, I don’t blame you. Without fraud, some of you would never have touched the money that now makes you look down on people actually working for theirs.
i hate poverty so much.
It turns you into a people pleaser. You avoid conflict because you can't afford to lose access, help, opportunities.
It makes you overexplain. You feel the need to justify your existence, choices, or mistakes , it shuts you up.
there is the igbo tradition of very discreet but extensive background checks before a traditional wedding and it saddens me that it is dying out. cos like 20 to 25 years ago, this cannot happen. the bride's family and vice versa will send someone to your hometown. that person can even spend a few days there asking around and digging into the entire bloodline! they will find out things your great grand father did
